Its frustrating! 2 examples:

My dads friend got a phone call from Pakistan and was asked to send 500 pounds so that his 10,000 pounds (that he mysteriously won off somewhere) will be released to a western union account, he thought this was genuine!

Another so called friend - (with me being totally against it) is meeting someone he hardly knows, after talking to them for a whole day, for the sake of it from an online medium.

Have you encountered other incidents like this?

have heard such stories in past. Not only that people believe on such things to be true but if you try to explain them something wrong about it, they just become your enemy.
